I still don't get why you need more movement speed?
A mage who's panicing and pulling the mob is out of question cause he's just delaying the mob to be claimed by it's party, esp when the hatecap is reached.

And traveling isn't that bad anymore even before Abyssea. You can rent a chocobo for less than 500 gil, most time 120 gil.
There are several ways to reach a destination via teleportation, WoTG or outpost travel.
Even the increased stability of sneak and invis (NIN and WHM) made traveling more fun than before.

For NM camping and outclaiming - I don't need those either.

Am I that old school that I can run from A to B without complaining that certain jobs can be there faster than me?
